THE VIC Rl@N—By Gardner Hunting (Copyright, 1928, by Public Ledger) In the vear 1935 Radley Brainard has fnvented the Vicarion, A device with which it is possible to re-créate scenes out of the past. The invention is a sensational suc- ce with all the theaters installing it in place of mottion pictures. Complete Illu- sions, Inc.. which at that time controls all the {mprovements on the movie, faces ruin. but when Ferdinand Mortimer and Jerry Ballard, heads of the company. call on him, Brainard refuses to make terms Brainard's records of the past are con- tained in “bombs." which hold liauid air. and while he s projecting one of il “bombs.” which was unmarked, he sees a beautiful gossamer-clad girl, with whom be hough he is_engaged (0 h! ng the first demon- stration of ti Vicarion, with Phyllis_and her family looking on. & strange man stag- gers in the studio.

(Continued from yesterday's Star.) INSTALLMENT XXVIHIL RAINARD leaned back in his chair, He could not sit erect. His cigarette had fallen on the rug: Ballard put his foot on it. “I'm wondering, Brainard,” he said, “how you knew that Honer was dead.” “I made a—record of him—in the eabin.” “Was that before, or after, you left the bomb in his fireplace?” Brainard did not know how to answer that question. “Of course,” went on Ballard, “you killed Honer, Brainard—likely with a ghost out of that bomb. But I'm not interested in that. I've got you by a better hold than that. Of course you know that I can't look at the real memorandum Honer left me without your seeing the record there, too. But I won't need to now. I'll just go back to my office and wait there till you come to me begging to pay for the privilege. And the more trouble you make me be- fore you come, the more it will cost He was walking t::nrd 031“ door. He s ! Brainard st up. J\g‘;mgl — minute, Ballard!” He coughed. “You're fooling yourself now. But—you'll find that out, in time. Just ask my secretary to—call the doctor, will you? Are you—familiar with the— the pain that comes with—gallstones?” Ballard turned and hesitated. Then he smiled. “Rather cleverly concelved, Brainard, for a man in your condition. But, if you want a doctor, it is not for the malady you mention. Call him yoursclf.” And he went out. As the door closed, Brainard sank down, his head pounding on his desk. He sat stunned. Presently he heard the door open sgain. In another moment he felt a hand touch his head. o “Mr. Brainard! Are ‘you ili?” It was Miss Arden. He did not an- swer. She became alarmed. “Mr. RESORTS: THE SUXNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, _D. C, FEBRUARY 3, first made mad? Clearly he was mad! Was she, then, his Nemesis, that Sunrise Sprite! _ Poetically that should be his fate! But damn the poetical! He was the master! Why dramatize or senti- mentalize his predicament? What was the cure? Why, it was as obvious as ever. If he could not find her, he could heart, by the bleeding roots. But—sup- posing him cured!—what then? Great | God, he did not want to be cured! | How crueclly a man was shut within himself. Some one had said that the senses, instead of being ‘“windows of the soul” were curtains of the soul, velling us away from real contacts with real things. How short was human reach! He was a man in a glass case called Consclousness, with the things he wanted just outside! In a'moment of clear vision he saw that, as he was, 50 were other men. What he had done for them he had done for himself. The Vicarion paraded the things outside the nd | glass! More; it was only the Vicarion that had made men, any of them, aware of captivity. Consclousness — present consclousness—a prison! Its walls di- vided him from his heart’s desire! And them from theirs, perhaps. No, only men who were fools enough to want things that were outside the glass! But he _cared nothing about them; he cared —for two things—one now become the other’s price—and he balanced them against each other. He went to the control board of his muitiple condenser at last. Here was his dragnet, which he might fling abroad with hope—for fisherman's luck. He mumbled the old an“ about the good fish remalnmf n the sea, with grim appreclation of the reason why it had never turned any man from single- ness of desire. He knew not where to direct his search. And it is in such confusion and under such compulsion that men gamble or grasp at superstitions for guides. As well set his dials with his eyes shut as to manipulate the machine with careful plan. As well offer suppli- cation and gropmntory promise to such gods as might be as to put faith in sys- tem when one must deal with chaos. As well rattle the dice blindly in the cup as to attempt to foresee their fall by peering in upon them. They were as likely to be loaded for as against him. Fate herself had been known to be kind; she had been extraordinarily kind to him! Why all this anticipation of ruin? It was his weariness! Why not hope? He turned his dials, and shrew back his head to make his prayer: “Oh Fate, be kind again!" The insan: search began. He was in the sea; a man who rlunu l;ter m;n' echo; Itm’ a mn;lvhg sleeps hoping to recapture one belove dream. Hours fled past him like the spokes in a wheel of his mach'ne, as little needed. Afternoon ran into eve- ning and evening into night, and night into dawn. He woke from unecansclious- ness to call at his door for food, to deny all demands from outside, to go back to his task. Supplies enough for his work were Brainard!” she cried. She started |8t hand—he needed none but a dou- away from him as if to summon help. He managed to speak. “Waitl” he gasped. She came swiftly back and caught his hand. After a moment he sat up slowly. She looked into his face and suddenly dropped down beside him, clasping his hand against her breast, then against her face. “Oh, you are ill!” she cried. “Let me call help! What shall I do oh, let me help you!” ble set of bombs for his machine, and electric current to run it. By fifties he made his records, then set nis ma- chine to go on with the making while he viewed his results. Some records he ran in all thelr captured length: most of them he gave but a moment of his precious time.

He wondered now at the profound effect of his crisis. It was not natural, was it? Perhaps there was more benefit than he had thought to be expected from sleeping up. He left the girl in his office and for- got her before he reached the hall. There he went directly to his studio and shut himself in. He had a de- canter and bottles in his tray closet now, and he took a long drink, and ‘2“,‘ ancther, before he dropped into a chair. Of course, Ballard would be as good as his word. It might even be that the man had no other envelope from Honer than the one which had been shown to contain nnthlr;&!‘ Perhaps he had never had anything from Honer but the hint that Honer had something that Brainard wanted. But thinking 80 would not alter the case; for Brain- ard could not prove whether or not an index had been left by Honer. So long as he suspected that it might be in Ballard’s hands, it might as well be there! Would the day come when he would beg for it? He was trembling now with the hope—the miserable hope —that the thing existed that made that & possibility! What did Ballard want in exchange for it? Brainard’s power, of course. And the day Brainard should admit that he wanted it, his power would be gone! Had he admitted it? Why must he have that fateful in- dex? Why must a man have anyth he desired with his whole heart? O what use to canvass that again? She ‘was his Circe; and he was no Ulysses! He was no demigod, and mere man always bought what he wanted most at the price of all else he possessed. How long would it take Brainard to conclude that such a price was not too much? And yet, what was this that he wanted 1o buy? Perhaps not even anything that could belong to him! No man ever followed an emptier reward—even a follower of cocaine! But no lover of cocaine was ever more in love! Here was a man with world power in his| hands heartsick for a mere woman— yes, for a wrhith of a woman—yes, & wraith of a wraith, a vibration, a mat- ter of gases, a breath of air-—a thing! without substance or shadow! He had | held up a mirror and an image had| danced across. For that instant he had | held her, as it were, In his hands. But bstween him and her a gulf was fixed. Yet she was his breath of life! What was this power she held over him—the power of this law he could not def{r is | this power it gave into the hands of enemy? He must seek her. If she| was in life, he would seek her to the world’s end. If not, he might willingly die to go to her. Men had done things as mad as that. But if he ocould not hope to find her in one world without a clue to time or place, how could he follow into another without knowing which he followed “of all the myriads | who"'1 there would be disaster. Perhaps she was right, though she could not have guessed the manner of it. No one) knew, or had known—except the man who had died with the secret.

But his bombs were numbered and his tape-record told him the set of his dials; he could search out period and locality when he chose. He looked into the face of Oliver Cromwell—he stood in the Venezuelan sunshine with Simon Bolivar! He saw Romans in tunics building a road. He watched a lurid love affair between a woman and a man whose faces and garments whispered of Babylon. He heard a band play on the deck of a sinking ship—and watched the trefidy through to the last bubbling eddy in a yellow sunset. He saw a trembling, wet-eyed mother watching a daughter's little graduation triumph. He saw cow=- boys leap into gun-play over a poker erence. He heard a contrite little son ask his father's forgiveness for offense. Hs saw & girl dying in a motor wreck. He saw the silvered outlines and red eyes of a buck by jack-light on the shore of a Canadian lake. Delight, or horror, at their poignant heights and depths. Life's sea, from its upulmnf spume to its fetid scum! Love, crueity, tender- ness, courage, filth! Parade of virtue and sweating vice! Man's record, from his blazing triumphs to his gangrened wounds!

Life, the mummer, the martyr, the madcap, the patriot, the assassin, the sweethsart, | the despotier, its g'ory or its shame! ate the eyes or leave the mind mangled, and things so beautiful as to burn bare the soul. But the man listened and watched—listened and watched—for a trickle of falling water and eyes peering from a screen of leaves! In cach little bomb, new hope! Never could he know what the new little shell fully, methodically combed a period or a place, to and fro, and back and forth, spreading his multiple vibrations, as it were, fanwise—seattering, deploying—in organized search. Sometimes he swept with a single vibratory magnet, zigzag- ging like a hound ranging for a lost scent. Sometimes, desperate, he flung all method and all sense aside and snatched at random for what might b2 caught—like an unreasoning child who claws wildly for some lost treasure in a mass of jumbled toys. Sometimes he duplicated thln?s he had seen before— furious at the loss of time, then flam- ing with hope that the god of chance would yet toss the priceless replica his way. As time went by he became calloused to its passing. He forgot that life is not merely fover and fray and fear and hope; that it is eating and drink- ing and rest—and casual .catact and sympathy—and music and .aughter— far above any normal human note, he became like a mere tuning-fork, attached up—and his sagging knees gave way; sometimes his hands fell atrembling in an ague of helplessness. Then he would drink, and drink, flis decanter emptied, he broke the neck from a bot- tle he would not pause *o uncovk. He ceased to want food. He felt no thirst | his liquor would not quench—and when his eyes sometimes doubled images | before them he attributed it to the| drink. He felt neither weariness nor oain, though he had his periods of un- consclousness which he thought might sleep. If it cceurred to him to stop, he stopped long enough to see Jerry Ballard’s grinning face and to hear him say, “I'll go pack and wait till you come to me!™ And then suddenly he found him- self waking irom a sort of wide-eyed sleep of the train and hearing and seeing the trickle of watcr into a crys- tal \»ol and the love no'e of a searlet bird!

Fegan, in charge of corgs headquarters recruiting bureau, is due back tomorrow from an exten- sive inspection trip of the various re- cruiting offices of the corps located in the corps’ ceintral recruiting division. Although speculation is rife as to the officer who will succeed Brig. Gen. Charles Laurie McCawley, quarter- master of the corps, who is due for retirement August 24, it is generall: conceded In corps circles that the nex junior in rank of the quartermaster’s department of the Marine Corps will be appointed, which, if true, will result !in the promotion of Col. Cyrus sug[ f the Radford, at present in charge of Marine Corps depot of supplies, Phila- delphia, Pa. Col. Theodore E. Backstrum, com- manding officer, Marine Barracks, this city, will be detached therefrom about April 1 and will be assigned to duty as_commanding officer of one of the military zones in Nicaragua. Col. Rush R. Wallace, now on duty with the Marine Brigade serving in Nicaragua, will return to the United States about the first of April, or there- abouts. Whether Col. Wallace will be ordered to command the Marine Bar- racks here is as yet uncertain. In the event that he is, it will mean the re- turn to Washington of an officer of the corps who comes from an old naval {lnmuy and who has a host of friends ere. The National Capital detachment of the Marine Corps League by over- whelming vote has petitioned Congress for favorable action on the cruiser bill pending in the Senate. Legislation providing equal ration allowance for retired . enlisted men of the services, respectively, if enacted, into law, will increase the present al- lowance for rations being now paid to retired men of the corps. It has a fair chance of passage either at this session or the expected extra session of Con- gress. In addition there is a probability that the pay of enlisted men of the services may be increased on a par with the increased high cost of living. The present allowance for a retired enlisted man (for all branches of the service), is 30 cents per day, not per meal, but per day. This allowance for retired men has remained stationary for ap- proximately 30-odd years. The present allowance for rations for enlisted men in barracks is approximately 53 cents. Brig. Gen. Smedley D. Butler, now en route to the United States from China, is due to dissmbark at San Francisco February 6, and it is ex- pected that he will arrive in Wash- ington about February 15, when he will report to Maji.
